Pitmen Painters

by William Feaver

Book Overview

The Ashington Group began in the 1930s as an evening class of pitmen in a village in the North of England to learn a bit about art appreciation. The Pitmen Painters tells how appreciation of their work spread, how they were tracked down by documentary photographers and film makers and how they resisted interference.
